Board approves minutes, claims, small SRF disbursement and legal contract; Montclair adjustment cleared
Summary
At its Jan. 9 rescheduled meeting the Madison Board of Public Works and Safety approved minutes and claims, authorized a $1,282.91 adjustment for a Montclair property repair, approved SRF disbursement L9 for $145, and approved a 2025 legal-services contract with attorney Joe Jenner.
The Madison City Board of Public Works and Safety on Jan. 9 took a set of routine actions: it approved the minutes from the previous meeting, approved general and payroll claims, authorized an adjustment payment for a Montclair homeowner, approved an SRF disbursement payment, and approved a contract for legal services with attorney Joe Jenner for 2025.
Minutes and claims: The board moved and seconded approval of the minutes as printed and approved general and payroll claims by voice vote.
Montclair adjustment: The board approved an adjustment for 203 Montclair (repair of a leak under a house performed by RJ) in the amount of $1,282.91. A resident associated with the claim — listed in the record as Monclair Maikai — attended and was present for questions; staff confirmed repairs were completed and the site was "up and going." The board approved the adjustment by voice vote.
SRF disbursement L9: Staff presented an invoice dated Sept. 30, 2024, from Commonwealth Engineers (invoice number 61816) requesting payment of $145.37. The board approved SRF disbursement number L9 for $145 by voice vote.
Legal-services contract: The board approved a contract for legal services with attorney Joe Jenner for 2025. Staff described the contract as similar to the previous agreement but converted certain items from hourly billing to a straight monthly payment; litigation services would be billed separately at a reduced hourly rate. Jenner will attend meetings in person or remotely as needed and will continue to attend historic board and zoning meetings. The board moved to approve the contract and approved it by voice vote.
Adjournment: The board then adjourned the meeting by voice vote.
Each action was recorded in the board minutes as approved; the meeting record shows voice votes with responses of "Aye" and no recorded nays or abstentions.
